For me the black album was one of the most important albums of the 90's. By now I know there are more important albums for Metallica. But for me this is a great album.

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 85.2/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.2.

Very unique, competent and lovely Chart.
Some surprising and good picks: Devotchka, Giant Sand, 16 Horsepower and Simpel Minds.
I like Deus (I don`t think the rest of the world ignores them)but a live concert some years ago was a bit disappointing.
Why not Tom Waits?
Maybe you like to check my TOM CLUB Chart?!

Lots of obscure stuff (most not to my taste, but that's OK). Maximo Park sounds interesting.
